Hi, friends! It's design team member Walter on the blog today with a beautiful card celebrating Thanksgiving. The Harvest Moon stamp from I Brake for Stamps creates such a beautiful scene. I used lots of earth tones set against the night sky and a golden full moon in my design. I can smell the fall leaves and feel the cool, crisp air when I look at this image!
Here's what I used to create it:
- Harvest Moon Red Rubber Stamp
- A2 Kraft card base
- Vintage Newspaper Clipping Paper
- 4"x5.25" piece of Cream cardstock
- Embossing ink
- Gold embossing powder
- Colored pencils
- Tim Holtz Distress Inks: Tea Dye, Vintage Photo, Scorched Timber
- Piece of twine
- Two mini clothes pins
- Label Maker
Here's how I made it:
- Added grunge to Kraft card use using Scorched Timber ink and ran the ink pad around the card edges.
- Tied piece of twine around the top inside of the card base; used a blending brush to add some grunge with Scorched Timber ink.
- Placed mini clothes pins onto twine.
- Adhered Vintage Newspaper Clipping paper to the card base.
- Stamped image onto Cream card panel with embossing ink, dusted with gold embossing powder, and heat set it.
- Colored the image with colored pencils.
- Used a blending brush to add grunge to the card panel with Tea Dye ink.
- Added grunge to the sides of the card panel with Vintage Photo ink.
- Adhered card panel to base with double sided foam tape, ensuring the top of the panel is inserted into mouths of clothes pins.
- Created sentiment with label maker and adhered it to the card.
I love the rustic and vintage look & feel of this card. It makes me want to put a turkey into the oven to roast right now!
Thanks for spending some time reminiscing with me today! See you again soon.

Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here today.
Today I am using some amazing products from Blank Page Muse and I Brake for Stamps.
Score a 5" x 6" card 1/2" around the front panel.
Use gray ink with the Pebbled Path stencil.
Cut a 3" x 10" panel and score in half for the front of the card.
Use the same Pebbled Path stencil on the front panel.
On the flap, add a torn strip of paper across the bottom.
Using a mask, stamp the phrase on white cardstock and mat with orange cardstock.
Add a 3" x 5" panel within the scored lines on the inside of the card.
Create an envelope and slip a gift card inside.
Stamp a phrase on the envelope and adhere to the card base.
Stamp the image and color with Copic Markers, then fussy cut.
Add the image to an oval and adhere to the card front.
Thanks for stopping by.
Steph

Hi, friends!
It's design team member Walter on the blog today. By now you've heard me say several times how much I love creating vintage themed cards. Today's creation is another example of this. I fell in love with the IBFS Silhouette Stamp Set as soon as I saw it. One of the larger stamps in the set is this beautiful scene set in a park. I decided to use it in a monochromatic palette to make it look older and thought it would be really fun to have a burlap frame around it. The result is a beautifully nostalgic scene that may be used for so many different occasions. Let's jump into my creative process.
Here's what I used to make it:
Here's how I made it:
- Ink blended the card panel with Lost Shadow ink.
- Stamped the image onto card panel with black ink.
- Stamped the woman on bicycle just below the image to make it look like a path used for walking and riding.
- Ink blended some Vintage Photo and Scorched Timber along the path to darken it.
- Used an oval die to cut the center out of the burlap panel.
- Used a brown alcohol marker to darken the inside rim of the burlap panel.
- Spritzed the card panel and burlap panel with Tean Stain, Vignette Mist, and Ice Grey Mist and let them dry.
- Used craft glue to adhere the burlap panel over the card panel.
- Ran the Scorched Timber ink pad along the combined panel.
- Attached card panel to card base using double sided tape.
- Stamped the sentiment onto the card in Scorched Timber and the stamped it again with Golden Glitz ink.
- Attached pearl gems to the corners.
I really love this scene so much! It has such a nostalgic feeling to me. This is one card that I may end up framing and using as a decoration!
